I’m actually inspired now to upgrade my laptop with a ssd drive. The whole operation will cost me about $110 and I may be able to sell the old drive for $10 or so on ebay. Improved performance is worth it! Thanks for the inspiration!
The cost of SATA 3 SSD’s has dropped BIG TIME. I remember when a Samsung 1 TB SSD’s were close to $1,000. Now, you can get a Western Digital 1 TB SSD for around $110.
The link below is a 240GB Crucial SSD for $29 to your front door. Times sure have changed.
